When I see the word Guest, my mind is conditioned now to immediately think, "Chimpanzee flinging his own poo." I'm concerned this may generalize into real life.

That's very perceptive.

Mike passed away some time back.
I haven't heard much from Dori since then. She was a splendid woman.

When I see comments like yours I immediately wonder how many other usernames does this sock puppet have? Followed by why do people like this have an the need to be so destructive? Are you lsat's sock puppet, paleriders, or some of the many others?
Weren't you one of the ones who was whining because you didn't get your username without delay.

If you log into your registered account, you can click my name and see my history of posts including my first posts. At the time I joined here I had no trouble signing up and posting right away. I can understand your concern about sock puppets, and I'm sure that there are people posting under more than one account here, but the sad fact is that even those of us who aren't sock puppets are occasionally going to express frustration at all the deliberate muck-raking via guest accounts. Do you not see the irony of making accusations like yours while posting as a guest? Does that just sail right over your head?

There is no doubt that what has sailed completely over your head is before you posted your 1st snide comment there were 40936 posts, in this thread, none that were yours that is unless you have also posted here using your other usernames. So you want us to believe you have no dog in this fight but were just bored to death and "pining" for some negative interaction to make your day. So your day is now complete. Do sleep well now.

Correction noted. The point is just as valid none the less and has now been reinforced.

My biggest sin here is adding a comment to a thread I hadn't posted to before? On a topic, and with an opinion, that I have actually posted about in other similar threads? Spin away, my friend.

No spin at all. Just summarizing your agitating behavior.

I'm so glad this came up-- I've been reading the posts and was ready to leave because I didn't want to get into the middle of this.. I've only been using my Cpap since July and have learned from this forum that my problems are not unique.. Your help is invaluable to us newbies- we're all in this together so please don't let personalities spoil your great forum

Those personalities and history remain. I implore those people (however well intentioned) to pass the baton - allow someone else to further the cause. If you cannot be seen as impartial your words will be seen as just another battering ram under the guise of civility.

OP, Pugsy, The brilliant new Duke of CPAPtalk ~~~
I have no idea what moderation is really about, but I loved the idea of this thread when you first tried to make it work.
Now that you are all powerful, in addition to the snazzy truck, I hope you get a magic button to send things to the DuKe it out thread.
... some of us like being naughty and reading things .... C L RFUL ... in between learning and being inspired.
I hope there's a special place where improper font use can be ridiculed and other socially unacceptable behaviors examined. Good can come from foul. Isn't that whole mold/penicillin story true?
This thread (I think?) also contains that "Johnny Post" that was so great about freedom. I can't remember it because I have no brain cells left but I do remember thinking that ... W W ... that was great ... Like this Pugsy thread idea was great.
And even though I know nothing really of the internet, I immediately got the vibe that CPAPtalk was a bit of fresh air in a choked up world gasping for freedom.
